Keywords:
stochastic processes; measurable modification
Summary:
We present, with purely didactic aims, a simple and essentially self-contained proof of two necessary and sufficient conditions for existence of a measurable modification of a stochastic process with values in a separable complete metric space. Existence of a measurable modification of a stochastic process continuous in probability is an immediate consequence.
